900 staff at hospitals in Derby and Burton have refused their Covid-19 vaccinations, for undisclosed or non-health reasons.
Staff at the University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust - which oversees the Royal Derby Hospital and Queen’s Hospital in Burton - have been prioritised to receive the vaccine since December.
The coronavirus vaccine is not mandatory, but the Trust says it helps keep other employees safe and reduce the spread of Covid-19 in the community, including to unwell patients.
